Linear Regression Model

Model equation:
Yi = α + β × Xi + εi

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi + 2 × s)

Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi – 2 × s)

where:

i - observation number
Yi - natural logarithm of HXL price
Xi - time index, 1 day interval
σ - standard deviation of εi
a - estimator of α
b - estimator of β
s - estimator of σ
Exp() - calculates the exponent of e


Primary Trend

Start date: March 16, 2020
End date: April 9, 2024

a = 3.5327

b = 0.0005

s = 0.1207

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0005) – 1
= 18.00%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1207) – 1
= 62.09%

March 16, 2020 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y214)
= Exp(a + b × X214 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 312 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5327 + 0.0005 × 312 + 2 × 0.1207)
= Exp(3.9156)
= $50.18

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y214)
= Exp(a + b × X214 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 312 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5327 + 0.0005 × 312 – 2 × 0.1207)
= Exp(3.4327)
= $30.96

April 9, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,237)
= Exp(a + b × X1,237 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,797 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5327 + 0.0005 × 1,797 + 2 × 0.1207)
= Exp(4.5890)
= $98.39

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,237)
= Exp(a + b × X1,237 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,797 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5327 + 0.0005 × 1,797 – 2 × 0.1207)
= Exp(4.1060)
= $60.70

a = 3.7538

b = 0.0003

s = 0.0799

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0003) – 1
= 11.00%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
